Ascend Curriculum

Ascend Curriculum Logo Our preschool teachers work from our Ascend Curriculum, which takes a skill-based approach to early child education. This proprietary curriculum recognizes that young children need much more than cognitive development and provides a flexible framework that helps our students reach important social, emotional, creative, and physical milestones.

Our teachers introduce new skills every month, which allows students to progressively build valuable skill sets in subjects such as Physical Fitness, Creative Expression, Literacy, Mathematics, and Cultural Understanding.

Kind Child

Kind Child Program Logo Kind Child is one of the most popular subjects in our Ascend Curriculum. Kind Child helps children build social skills and take on character traits such as Responsibility, Thankfulness, Friendship, and a Positive Self-Image. We have found that when we focus on the emotional well-being of each child in our care, we strengthen our school too.

School-to-Home Connection

Maintaining a strong partnership with our families is an important part of a successful preschool experience. We keep our families informed about their child’s day and academic progress through a variety of communication pieces. Our students are constantly working towards important milestones, which are documented in Developmental Portfolios and track a child’s developmental journey from Infants all the way through Pre-Kindergarten.

We are so grateful for PCA. We've loved seeing our son develop such strong bonds with Ms. Jazmine, who is so sweet and somehow knows just the way to soothe every baby in her care, and Ms. Diana, who is such a wonderful person and has helped our son transition through separation anxiety with so much love. You can tell she genuinely cares for her students, and even though our boy has moved up from her class, we still stop in to visit her because he loves her so much. She always greets him with a hug and a smile. As we’ve moved up to Toddler A, we continue to be amazed by the number of new things our son is learning from Miss Aubri, Miss Julie, and Miss Chandler in Toddler A and B. We're trying to learn more sign language ourselves because he seems to enjoy it so much, and he comes home trying to say new words every week. It was a tough decision for us to enroll him in care instead of finding a way to stay home with him, but the older he gets, the more grateful we are that we made that choice as we see all of the activities he gets to participate in. We get comprehensive daily updates from the staff and they give great feedback on what our son does and how we can help make his experience at school better. The front office staff is friendly every morning when we come in, and Ms. Caitlin and Ms. Ariane are very accommodating and responsive when we have questions, concerns, or need to make a change. It is tough to find places where you feel confident your child will be taken care of, but we feel that confidence at PCA. We really enjoy the programs, enjoy being a part of the PCA family, and are excited to see what our son will learn next!

So thankful I found PCA Lindsay! After being a stay-at-home mom for 2 years, my husband and I discusses and decided it was time to go back to work and find a daycare for our son. We had a vision of the care we were looking for, for our son, so then began the research. I looked around for a few months, reading reviews, visiting schools, and nothing quite fit the bill. I was honestly, genuinely nervous that I wasn’t going to find anywhere for my son and was going to be a SAHP until he started grade school. The last appointment I had made to tour a school changed everything. I was so happy with everything PCA had to offer - the wonderful and caring staff, the beautiful and clean facility, the amazing playground, and the classroom windows with natural light!! I literally cried when I took my initial tour and immediately called my husband and said, “THIS WAS THE PLACE.” I was lucky enough to get (I think) one of the last spots in the classroom for his age group, and he was able to start almost immediately. The school provides meals to our son, which has opened his tastebuds to things he might not eat at home; he loves all the enrichment activities, and he loves his friends and his teachers. I love the pace of mind I get from the app and the notifications/pictures I get throughout the day. But the biggest kicker of all is how excited he gets when we turn into the parking lot - I hear a big gasp of excitement when he sees his school and he knows he gets to go play with his friends and teachers. Some days he literally doesn’t want to leave. Everyone at the school is amazing. Everyone pitches in to help with a smile. A BIG shoutout to Miss Brianna for our initial start and assisting with the new transition, Miss Cierra for continuing the process, and everyone else in between. I don’t think I can say enough good things about this school - they truly feel like family and friends.

I've had a tough go around finding my son the right childcare since he was a baby! A lot of places promise a lot of things and then once you start sending your child there you realize they aren't holding up their end of the bargain. When I found PCA I was kind of holding my breath but hoping for the best as we tried one more time at a new place. My son loves his friends, his teachers, and all the staff here. He is 4 and can write his full name (and mine and our dog's name), he was in occupational therapy for 3 years before coming here and after only a few months here he is graduating from OT this week (because he's exceeded all goals we set for him at this age), and he is just so nurtured here. My son has had a rough road with some medical problems when he was a baby and young toddler which left us with doing therapy 5 days a week. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and feeding therapy! As I said, he's graduating from OT because he's met the mark and passed it since starting at PCA, and he is also close to graduating PT because he's meeting and quickly starting to surpass the goals in there! I was blown away a few weeks ago when my son hopped on a tricycle at the children's museum and rode it with no issue. Riding a bike/tricycle was a goal in PT we had decided to revisit just a few months earlier because it was still just too difficult for my son. I almost cried seeing him just hop on and start riding like it was nothing! I asked him who taught him to do that and he said "uhm at school did!" If you're looking for a school that not only talks the talk but also walks the walk.... You've found the place here. We love everyone at PCA.
